His weapon was out, and Basil's and John's followed immediately. "We fight for it, my sons," he cried. "The ship can hold her own and help us too; there are fifty bold fellows aboard her." His voice rang out clearly and resolutely, and the captain of the Luath responded. "'Tis but a boat-load to beat off," he said. But Francis Drake led the boat-load.
He was one of the single boat-load which managed to reach a desert island, and he had gone through a great many hardships and sufferings since then. But he was not past being taught, and his troubles had done him no end of good, for they had made him doubt himself, and begin to think, so that he had come to see that he had been foolish as well as wicked.
Pedro, the son of our host, returned the next day with a boat-load of turtle and fish which he had caught; as well as a number of birds, some of them of exquisite plumage. John, Arthur, and I begged to accompany him the next time he set out on a similar expedition; and we found that he proposed starting again the following day.
She directed every boat-load herself, and rushed the materials to the shovelers, who stood soaking wet in the driving rain. Lathers avoided her; so did McGaw. Everybody else watched her in admiration.
"Why, doctor," says my lady aloud, with a side glance at me, "the wisdom of Solomon might not choose out of twenty baskets." And this was all the thanks he got for near a boat-load of roses! When at length the impatient mate had hurried him off, Dolly turned to me. It was not in me to say more than: "Good-by, Dorothy. And do not forget your old playmate. He will never forget you."
"But there is nothing phenomenal in fire to brace one up and those had a sinister determined look and that boat-load of people! I only hope your mother has not run away under the impression that San Francisco alone was shaken. We wouldn't find her for a week." "My mother's nerves are not what they were, but I am positive she will not run. She is certain to wait for us at the house."
At the pier, however, we found some people who really were wide-awake: fishermen just returned with a boat-load of fish that they had caught in the lake. And these, when I questioned them, in a moment resolved all of our troubled doubts into a sad certainty.
Such a cry as arose from the crowd of on-lookers! It was a sound that none of them had ever heard before or could expect ever to hear again, unless he should be one of the last boat-load rescued from a sinking vessel.
Then he shouted to a boat-load of sailors who had beached their craft while they gathered some drift for their galley fire. They had flung their arm-loads into the boat, and had bent themselves to shove it into the water. "Keep still! don't move!" he yelled at them, with the imperiousness of the amateur photographer, and they obeyed with the helplessness of his victims. But they looked round.
"I mean to ask rather," said the Fox, "what thou wilt give me for the bodies of these twain?" Said the chieftain: "A boat-load of gold were not too much if thou shouldst live a little longer." Quoth the Puny Fox: "Well, in anywise I will go and bring in the bodies aforesaid, and leave my reward to the goodwill of the Ravens."
